A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Cordy turned and keyed in her door passcode, then entered after the door opened.

Even so, the man who agreed to leave just now remained standing outside.

“It’s late. You should go,” she urged him again.

“Okay,” John replied–yet another quick answer.

But his body was honest and remained still.

Cordy gritted her teeth and turned to shut the door before turning on the door monitor. John was still standing there.

Speechless, she opened the door again right then and asked, “Weren’t you going to leave?” “I just remembered something…” he said. “You haven’t given me anything for my birthday.” Cordy pursed her lips–she thought that they were parting ways tonight! Giving him anything would only have given him hope, and her more hassle.

“Anything would do,” John said with a serious look, obviously hinting at something.

Cordy sighed, having this feeling that she would not get him to leave if she did not satisfy him. Heaving a deep sigh, she resigned herself and walked up to him, stood on her toes, and wrapped her hands around his neck before giving him a peck on the cheek.

John actually froze. As he stared at Cordy again, she was left fidgeting uncomfortably and blushing.

“Just go already,” she muttered.

“I didn’t think that you’d prefer… physical rewards.” He smiled a little too smugly. “I actually thought a ‘happy birthday‘ would suffice.”

Even his eyes that were unfocused from alcohol a moment ago were now twinkling–he clearly got more than what he bargained for, and he was now acting like he did not want it?!

She really wanted to break his face just then!

“That said, I prefer your way of doing things,” he said, his voice getting deeper as the air between them got flirtier.

Cordy’s cheeks were so red they could bleed.
